In '81 I installed a late 70's Cadillac 60/40 bench bottom/bucket back black leather electric seat in my '66, C-10. I ran a heavy gauge wire directly to the battery with an inline fuse for the controls. The ride height was correct and the pedal clearance very close to the factory distance. I don't remember the exact date, however I picked it up at a salvage yard for $50.00. I liked it because it had a fold down center section that served as an armrest, drink holder and extra storage, which is a premium in these trucks. It was also good because I installed two 5-1/4" round speakers in the metal panel above the fuel tank below the window. All in all, it was a good solution to my seat needs.

Best of lucks with your seat.

Thanks for the reply,Last week I found a 60/40 seat out of a 95 Chevy P/u and then took the headrests out of the rear seat and re-mounted them into the 60/40,This has kept the headrests out of the back window which has made me feel better and they look even better than the originals.
